As I was wondering what to post today, I found these photos of our porridge lunch taken 2 months ago at Restoran Jack Fah at Jalan Russel, Ipoh new town (parallel to Jalan Masjid, formerly Hume Street).

After eating all the Chinese New Year food and goodies for the past few days, I feel like eating something light and plain. Looking at the Teochew porridge which is easily digestible. makes me think of eating some porridge for a change. This was our Teochew porridge lunch taken 2 months ago.

A bowl of bland teochew porridge with sweet potato.

It is a watery rice porridge, cooked till the rice turn fluffy and soft.

We had this dinner last month, which was in December, 2016. We drove to the restaurant that we intended to have our dinner but found it closed. Hubby and I were in the midst of thinking of another place to go for dinner when we turned a corner and saw this Kentucky Fried Chicken outlet in Silibin. One of us jokingly asked, "How about KFC?" Another said, "Can also, since its been a long time we haven't eaten KFC." And that was how we ended up having KFC for dinner!

It was about 6.45 pm and we were seated on the 1st floor next to the glass window.

I took the above 2 photos where from we were seated. The round lights that look like the moon in the picture are actually lights reflected on the glass panel.

I praise God for the rainy season and cool weather. For the past years, Chinese New Year season has been hot and stuffy and I will be sweating profusely as I prepared and cooked the meals for my family. But this year is very different. I didn't even need to use the small table fan in my kitchen. The cool weather makes my cooking so much easier.

The eve of Chinese New Year 2017 was on Friday, the day we all celebrated the reunion dinner as a family. On that day, for lunch I cooked this Jicama dish (Sengkuang or Yam bean dish) as filling for the Top Hats or Pie Tee shells. It is a very simple version. I only used shredded jicama, shredded carrot, minced meat and diced prawns and some garlic for cooking.

Place the Top Hats or Pie Tee shells on a plate. Use a spoon to scoop the filling into the shells.

This Pie Tee snacks plus all the other CNY snacks will be our lunch until our reunion dinner which will be about 6.30 pm

At about 3.00 pm, we stopped at Restoran Rainbow in Menglembu to buy a set of Chinese New Year salad dish @ MYR 68. This is a must because everyone including me loves this salad dish.

Then we went to collect the Braised Stuffed Chickens that we have ordered from Pete Corner with this casserole.

After topping the salad with the chopped peanuts, sesame seeds and crunchy crackers and plum sauce, it is time to stir the salad until well mixed. The above is my 1st portion of ready mixed salad.

This is the Braised Stuffed Chicken we ordered for our reunion dinner. We used a kitchen scissors to cut the chicken into smaller pieces. We couldn't finish this whole dish, the left over was kept for the next day's lunch.

Blanched Broccoli drizzled with garlic oil and oyster sauce.

And a Steamed Fish.

Here's our reunion dinner for 4 people for 2017.

Thank God for another brand new year!

Jehovah God is our light. I present to him my sacrifice upon the altar,
